Proud Mummy moment

Joseph has only been at school for 7weeks and WOW what a difference in him. I know how well he is doing with his reading as I listen to him everynight and Number I have some idea on as he gets number sheets fo homework and as I know he is doing addition I am always asking him questions

But this weekend he has taken to sitting with a piece of paper and a pen and writing sentences!!!! He is so good and trying to sound out lots of the words himself and he is doing such a good job with it. He also has really neat handwriting for a 5year old boy

Aaralyn has recently really gotten into writing pages from books, just copying the words and then we read them together... her reading is starting to come along well now too ... The only problem I've seen with her copying out of books is that some of them have a fancy font and she tries to write the letters like that, so I've been trying to pick out a bunch of books that have "normal" font and let her choose from them.

Something that has come along with school that I'm NOT liking is quite a bit of attitude again... she's been a bit extra whiny too but understandably with her being sick, but this new fresh little tude she's got is not being excused for any reason

Charlotte has been doing her 'Fred Talk' homework, although I don't think she is doing any handwriting as such, as far as I know, they concentrate on that later. She is learning the sounds of words which is great, and she's beginning to recognise letters and point them out to us

Her counting is excellent, she's even begn doing some basic adding and taking away

Tammy, I know what you mean about the 'tude' (I love that word BTW) Charlotte's is really bad at the moment Little madam she is at the moment!!
